~ A N N O U N C E M E N T ~ We want to promote the forum as the main spot for community discussion. This Slack will continue working for now, but we are no longer directing new people to it, and we will not be reviving the invitation link. We have also archived the feedback repo. We’ve had different strategies over the years, and I’m sorry for the whiplash! We get beautiful messages sprinkled around sites, but any one venue can feel like a ghost town. I’ve too often been absent myself. To engage better with everyone, we want to focus where we do it. Every platform has its pros and cons, but we had to pick one. Why the forum? It’s the oldest, it’s public, it’s indexed, and posts don’t disappear after 90 days. @Lao recently posted about what they miss in the Observable community, and I agree with every point. We’re working on some features, and will have more to share in a couple weeks. And we’re getting back to tweeting more community notebooks on X and Bluesky. What more can we do? Please feel free to let us know… on the forum! 😅 If you have a minute and want to help my mission of revitalization, take a look at some of the work people have recently shared there: • D3 Potato Plan or An Analysis of NYC Mayor Mamdani’s “Pothole Politics” by Matt Khinda • Concept graph of a graduate stochastic analysis course — extracted without supervision by lavernea • Browse and Share notebooks on the atmosphere (at://) by @Tom Larkworthy • A simple projection trick for orthographic globe clipping by Bloechle

Awesome, the forum was always my favourite.
